Dear Fellow Hawk,
The fall semester is in full swing and our student-athletes are working hard to balance their commitments both on and off the field.? Juggling games and practices with academic requirements and extracurricular activities, time management is one of the most important skills that we impart upon the members of our teams here on Hawk Hill.
In addition to games, matches and races, we are excited to host a number of significant events over the next few weeks, highlighted by Hawktoberfest on October 12-13 and the Athletics Hall of Fame Celebration Brunch on November 17. We look forward to hundreds of former student-athletes, coaches, fans and friends returning to participate in the various festivities.
It was great to see so many parents on campus this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday for Family Weekend.? Their arrival created a buzz and I enjoyed the opportunity to speak with them about their sons and daughters experiences to date.
We are also getting ready for the start of the 2013-14 basketball season. Practices have begun and the teams’ first games are just a few weeks away. Season tickets are on sale now, while single game tickets will be available later in October.? Visit sjuhawks.com for more details.
I hope to see you at a game or one of our upcoming events.? Thank you for your support of SJU Athletics.
Go Hawks!
Don DiJulia
Director of Athletics
